BOEHNER ON THE JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE LAW“In my opinion Obamacare is the biggest job killer we have in America today. It's a weight over every employer that we have. Thereby requiring them to hold back their willingness to hire people. Secondly, I believe that Obamacare will ruin the best health care delivery system in the world. And then thirdly, I think it'll bankrupt our country. On September 24th, when we rolled out our Pledge to America, we made clear that we wanted to repeal Obamacare. We are going to do what we said we were going to do.”

BOEHNER ON PURSUING THE AMERICAN DREAM“Get a decent education, work hard, and most importantly, dream big. You know, ...we are the biggest inhibitors to ourselves. We have blinders... I've spent my whole life trying to push the blinders back... because there's a big world out there, and... you can do whatever you want to do. I played football for Gerry Faust (at) Moeller High School (in) Cincinnati. (Faust) went on to coach at Notre Dame... I've told the story for 20 years what he taught us. ‘There's nothing in this world that you can't accomplish -- nothing that you can't succeed at if you're willing to work hard enough and if you're willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary.’”
